| A/D recording suggestions and tips anyone? There's quite a few smart guys on here. I'll look into each and every suggestion. I'm in no big fat hurry as I've got to rebuild and hot-rod my TD125MK2 first. I've yet to find a web site specific to this turntable. Hard to believe considering its... | |
| Corrupted CD & HDCD Recordings? The note below was first sent to Pacific Microsonics and then forwarded to me in response to my problem with the Lyle Lovett CD. Frankly, it's a pretty good excuse but does uncover some quality control issues with the record company. The technical... | |
| Used Thorens TD165: worth my dough??? I think if you are very careful you'll be ok with the 165 as long as the tone arm and cartridge is in good shape and care is taken in adjusting them. My thoughts on LP's in general make me err on the side of cautiousness. Every time you play one i... | |
| Used Thorens TD165: worth my dough??? I've got a TD125 MK II that I've owned since 1977 or so. Back then we both were NIB. The spring suspension is a pain in the rear to adjust but patience wins out. Leveling is 75 percent accomplished if you handle the suspension properly. But the de... | |
| CD Player for around 3500? No objective opinions allowed on this site. Everyone seems to be very loyal to what they've invested in. You can find some honest opinions though. I went with the Cary 306 for the following reasons. Reputable US firm. HDCD and upsampling/oversampl... | |
| CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed? This thread should be removed as it begs the question:How bad does Classe suck? An apology would be in order from the writer and the moderator. | |
| Opinion on Mcintosh preamps C-38,C-40, C-42. I began replacing my 20 year old system with the C42. I switched my old Holman Apt to the C42 and hooked it up to my old Haffler 220 with standard RCA's. The difference was shocking. Soundstage appeared, noise disappeared. Clarity improved in the ... | |
| Attention Cary CD Owners I'm getting used to the lights. The trick is not to stare into them. I think I was hypnotized by the sound of the unit especially after the new Acoustic Zen interconnects and power cord were installed. I really don't know how the new ones compare ... | |
| Sim Versus Mcintosh Amps I know nothing of the Sim. I'm sure it's good. I am a new owner of a 352 and 42 preamp running balanced. I've got Talon Khorus's that aren't burnt in yet. In fact everything is new. I've built it piece by piece starting with the preamp knowing I w... | |
| Anybody has heard of Italian Norma amplifiers? Don't know too much but mabey this will help.The brand name is Norma Electroacoustics in Italy. The units are oem'd at least in part by Opel Electronics in Hong Kong. You can email this agent in Germany for more details. I was bored so I thought I... | |
| my Talon Khorus sounds bad I've heard many different Krell amps and was always impressed by the power and clarity but, these were 300 w/c or greater units. I do however own a pair of Khorus's. Mine were demo's and about a year old when I got them. There's no way mine are br... | |
| CD Player Recommendation? Thanks one and all. I have read quite a few of the threads and it seems the same names, Carey, Muse, AR, etc. keep poping up. I'm a little surprised that the Rega's haven't been talked about yet but as I've said I've read quite a few threads. I ap... |
